“I was very fortunate to work with Rita during Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training many years ago. From that experience, she was always a strong contact for me when I needed support on all types of business initiatives.
“At the end of 2007, we hired Rita to lead critical business initiatives at Kluber. Areas included management coaching, lean six sigma and process management consulting. Rita was critical in that she could easily understand, improve and manage complex issues with little guidance. She also went above and beyond with value added services to ensure our employees improved their performance.

“I have worked with MoZen Inc. in several of my prior positions, leveraging them to coach members of my management team and to support several business improvement initiatives. In all instances we achieved our objectives. Three words describe my experience of Rita and her organization –Resourceful, Practical, and Effective.
“Mozen team members have access to the right resources. They have in their tool box the most current tools to perform assessments, deliver customized training and evaluation programs, and access to a variety of proven third party solutions that save time once a need has been identified. Also, they have experience in a wide set of industries and disciplines so they can spot integration opportunities and assess issues form a broad perspective. They have helped me with Introduction to lean six sigma, coached our first lean six sigma teams, reviewed processes, worked directly with my outbound call center MD staff to improve their in-call effectiveness, coached my contact center management team, and helped with sales team development.
“Their organization takes a very practical approach to each program –assessing the current state and advocating only for the assessments, process improvement activities, and training initiatives that will have the most positive effect on outcomes due to employee capacity, budget, or buy-in constraints.
“Finally, I have found Mozen programs to be very effective in delivering the targeted outcome. Every program begins with a clear definition of success from the perspective of multiple constituencies and a project is never closed unless all of those stakeholders sign off on the results.
I highly recommend Rita and Mozen Inc.”
